Episode 122 Deceased Person (1)
Early the next morning, Misha woke up.
“Wake up, wake up! How long are you going to sleep!”
The ti then was 6:30 am.
It was quite early even considering the schedule of going to Comlby.
“Let’s buy sothing to eat today. I didn’t bring a packed lunch because I woke up early.”
“Then first, from the morning on the first floor—”
“This place isn’t good! Let’s go out and eat. Huh?”
“I’m hungry…….”
“Co on, I’ll buy you sothing delicious. Okay?”
I couldn’t even eat breakfast because of Misha’s back rice and was dragged out. Then, as if running away, we rode away in a carriage and arrived at Comlby, a business district, before we ate.
A restaurant located 30 minutes from the public platform that Misha said was a good restaurant.
“How is it delicious?”
“it’s good……!”
I don’t know what they did to the stew, but it has a very familiar umami.
I’ll rember it and co back whenever I’m nearby.
“I’m glad you saw a satisfied expression. Did you like it that much?”
“Except for the price of one al.”
“That’s because you ate your bowl, you barbarian senile!”
After a late breakfast, I stopped by the armor store and general store I frequented and disposed of all the spoils.
‘Three million stones……’
The amount obtained by selling all the equipnt and consumables of the trio and Gencia t on the second floor.
It’s not a small amount of money, but it doesn’t feel too big either. It would have been many tis more if they sold poisonous snake fangs and second-level material leather armor.
‘Well, I can sell it later.’
After that, I entrusted equipnt repairs to the blacksmith that Hikurod had told about. I was worried about the repair cost because the shield and breastplate were greatly distorted in the troll battle, but
…
Repairs were cheaper than expected.
Well, it’s probably easier to smoke a dent than a lted one.
“Do you handle leather as well?”
“Yes, but do you have anything to entrust?”
“Ah, this is so stuffy on the chest side…”
While I was there, Misha also left the armor repaired.
Since it was a leather armor, I wondered if it would cause problems if I touched it, but there was no big problem.
“At this level, I don’t even need to add a new material. I think I’ll just use a softener to slightly stretch the cramped parts.”
The repair cost is only around 50,000 stones.
Maybe it’s because I ca here with the introduction of Hikuro, so there’s no dumping, and it seems like a very conscientious place to do business.
“Co with in three days.”
After leaving the smithy, he wandered around and bought expedition supplies this ti.
I replenished the Witch’s Lamp Dissolving Solution, which is a consumable for the hidden counter, and bought a few additional items that I thought of.
And…
“I’ll give you two bottles for two million stones.”
I repurchased two bottles of the highest quality potion from the general store I went to before.
I didn’t know you could use a bottle so quickly.
It cost a lot, but it was a little better because the two of us paid for it with the concept of public money.
“Fortunately, I didn’t have to touch the money in the common account. Here are 325,000 stones.”
The remaining money was divided between the two of them with Misha.
So, today’s schedule is all over.
“Then I’ll go! Good night Bjorn!”
“Sleep well, too.”
We returned to Labigion only at night, and we parted after a simple al.
And when I ca back to the dorm, I wondered
what this was again.
I see a silver-haired fairy squatting in front of my room, burying her head.
“Erwen…?”
“Ah, are you here?”
Erwen greets with a smile as soon as he sees .
For so reason, the look in his eyes seed tired, so I couldn’t help but ask.
“…Since when have you been waiting for ?”
“It’s been a while. But did the two of you go out?”
“Ah, I have sothing to go to Coml B.”
“As expected… I see.”
“So what’s going on here?”
It was ti to wash up and go to bed, so I asked him about it, but Erwen just kept his mouth shut.
As if organizing your thoughts.
He had a sowhat serious expression, but Erwen spoke up in a lively voice as usual.
“Mister, I can’t co as often as I used to. I’m here to tell you that.”
“Huh? Ah… Well, things have changed since then.”
Not a one-month-old fledgling explorer.
Well, at least it hasn’t even been a year, but…
No, that’s why you should know that it’s ti to focus on growth.
“Yes, I decided to go to special training with my sister from tomorrow. So maybe once a week? I think I can only co that much.
“long ti?”
“…There is such a thing.”
Soon after, Erwen blurted out his words as if he was flirting and disappeared with a bright smile before he had ti to ask.
“Anyway! I’ll be back next week so see you then. Mister!”
“Oh yes…….”
…What is this unpleasant feeling?
***
The whole team got together at the lunch bar the next day.
And drinking the return wine, we had ti to distribute the loot from the previous exploration.
“I think we can divide 550,000 stones per person. The by-products of the Frogman Shaman are sold at a higher price than I thought.”
“Haha, isn’t it all thanks to Rottmiller’s removal?”
“Keuheum doesn’t help much in battle, so I shouldn’t have to do sothing like that.”
Rottmiller’s modest words were brushed aside, and I finally settled the inco of this exploration.
400,000 magic stones obtained from cracks and 1st and 2nd floors.
The remaining 320,000 stones after subtracting the cost of consumables from the money from selling the equipnt.
550,000 stones as commission completion money and by-products.
A total of 1.27 million stones.
‘Even though I spent that much, I earned this much.’
Whatever the case, on the 4th floor, I earned a lot more than in the past two months.
No, actually, considering the essence Misha ate and the fangs of the leather armored viper, it’s safe to say that she made a crazy profit.
I also have 5 million stones from Mr. Bear.
‘With this montum, I’ll be able to take the 6th level imprint right away, right?’
I grinned and drank my beer.
There are still 2,000,000 Stones of cash left in Mischa’s and my shared account.
The personal wealth I have accumulated so far is about 2.5 million.
In the past two months, my growth has almost stopped and I have been nervous, but when I look at my bank account balance, my heart naturally becos full.
“Bjorn! What if you drink your first glass alone!”
“huh?”
“Let’s all drink together! We haven’t even celebrated properly yet.”
“…Yes, do whatever you want.”
“Thank you for killing the baby trolls and bringing them all back to life! Co on! Drink up everyone!”
After the settlent was over, everyone drank the return wine and solved the regrets of the previous exploration.
Is it because we all overco another crisis together?
The team leader, the dwarf, seed very happy.
However, the drinking party ended rather quickly than last ti.
“Um… I have to go now. I have to stop by my parents’ house for a while today.”
First Misha left, then Rotmiller.
“I’m going to have to finish here today too. I have so business in the guild.”
Perhaps because of the promise later, the two of them, who had just drank alcohol and matched the atmosphere, left. Anyway, Rottmiller, when Misha left, the raucous drinking party quieted down.
I thought the dwarf would get angry if I fell in here, so I tried to stay and continue the drinking party, but…
Surprisingly, the dwarf slipped out and moved to the next seat.
“Hahaha, is that so? Troll bastard is no big deal? You’re lying? It can’t be. Can you see that barbarian over there? I don’t know if you’ve heard of the little Vulcan…
” A dwarf who started talking while clinking glasses with the field. So I was just about to go back, but Dwalki grabbed .
“Now, how about we talk for a while?”
“what?”
“Co to think of it, the two of us have never had a quiet conversation.”
well that’s right
Rotmiller, we all chatted a lot when we were drunk, but he was the one who slept drunk.
‘Do you have sothing to say to ?’
And that was all.
Dwalki sipped his drink hesitantly, but didn’t speak first.
‘Shit, I’ll just go.’
Unlike the noisy surroundings, an awkward air flows around .
So I just opened my mouth first.
Because there was sothing I was curious about.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Oh, it’s okay… To be honest, even after being treated by the priest, I felt a little uncomfortable, but now I’m completely healed.”
“That’s good. Then how about this one?”
When I asked, tapping my forehead, Dwalkie tilted her head.
“It must have been the first ti in my life that my body had been folded in half. How can I continue to enter the labyrinth?”
Broken-hearted explorers are more common than you think.
Sotis the cruel mories left in the body leave an intense impression in the mind like a scar.
“Oh that’s…”
Dwalki, realizing the aning of my question, hesitated to answer.
It seed that nothing could have happened as expected.
“Whoa… I’ll be honest. I haven’t been able to sleep properly since that day. I thought it was because it was inside the labyrinth, but it’s the sa in the city.”
Soon, Dwalki let out a long sip of alcohol and confessed that his hands were already shaking just thinking about entering the labyrinth again.
“But don’t worry too much. It’s sothing everyone goes through, isn’t it sothing to overco? I’ll be fine before the next expedition.”
He said he can overco it…….
Looking at his eyes, it doesn’t seem like he’s saying anything in vain.
There was only one question.
“Is there any reason for doing that?”
Most of them overco their trauma and continue their work as explorers.
That’s because there’s no other way to live without this.
In a city where they have to pay taxes to survive, they had no choice but to overco.
But Dwalki, the wizard, is different.
“Why do you want to keep working as an explorer when it’s enough to work in the city?”
To my question, Dwalkie hesitated, then answered with one shot of beer.
“Because it’s… fun.”
It was a completely unexpected answer.
“Because it’s fun?”
“Of course, it was for a different reason at first. Do you rember what I said when we first t?”
“I rember. You said you would beco a great explorer and raise the baron’s honor.”
“Actually, it’s all a lie. I just thought that if I beca a famous explorer, my father… or the forr baron might be interested.”
Dwalki is the illegitimate son of an aristocratic family.
And, like illegitimate children, they feel deep love and hatred for their blood relatives. The contradictory feelings of hating them but wanting to be loved by them.
“As you know, the forr baron passed away. And as you can see… the older brother who inherited the position did not even know of my existence.”
I was frustrated at first.
It felt like I was floating on the water all day long after losing my life goal in an instant.
Poeticizing his feelings at the ti, Dwalki stared straight into my eyes.
“But I got through it. I had four people around to lean on.”
“Couldn’t it be… ooh are you talking about us?”
“Then who else is there? At first, I didn’t know that a colleague was that kind of person. More than a friend I could trust and rely on, my family… It felt like that.”
“Is that so?”
“exactly. After my mother passed away, I felt like I was left alone in the world every day… but when I was exploring and laughing and chatting with you, I never felt that way.”
Perhaps knowing that the map was saying sothing embarrassing, Dwalkie ordered another beer at once. It was emptied.
“Thanks Bjorn. Thanks to you, I enjoy every day these days. So… even though I’ve been through that this ti… I can get over it.”
“…I see.”
“That’s right. So don’t worry too much.”
“Okay, I won’t pay attention to that part anymore.”
Soon after, I cleared my worries.
Whatever the motive, if it’s at that level, you don’t have to worry about Dwalkie’s ntality.
”
It’s okay, let’s have a drink.”
Maybe thanks to the sincere conversation, the awkward atmosphere disappeared
. ” Hey
Bjorn… I have a question for you.”
”
Tell .”
“Are you dating Miss Mischa… by any chance?
” My
face, which was flushed with drunkenness, was full of nervousness and
nervousness
.
Hey, that’s what you saw.

“Brown Rotmiller. It’s been 8 years since I beca an explorer at the age of 34, right?” As soon as he entered the office, he was
t with contempt. While feeling humiliated at this,
Rottmiller replied
.
He received a call from the Explorers’ Guild this morning, so he arrived at the guild on ti even while he was arguing with his colleagues.
And he followed the staff up to this room.
A man was sitting in a chair, and he said that Rotmiller It was a familiar face.
‘Nile Urbans, the 7th regional head of the Explorers Guild. Why would this person like …’ The
question filled his throat, but he did not hesitate and waited for the man’s explanation to follow.
Because if you make a mistake, you don’t know what kind of misfortune will strike you.
“Hmm, I like it. I’m sure you’re curious, but the part where you wait until the end is especially special.”
“Then can you tell about the business soon?”
At his request, the regional manager nodded happily and explained the reason for calling him here
.
“Does that an you should betray and your comrades?”
“That’s up to you. To be precise, all I need to do is fix the habit of that barbarian friend.”
Rotmiller gritted his teeth.
There are only 13 local chiefs in this city. Just
being annoyed by an explorer can give you a huge disadvantage.
That’s why it’s even more courageous . “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear about that offer…” He
clenched
his fists and spat out the difficult words of refusal, to which the district manager
smiled intriguedly
.
hurriedly turned toward the visitation before being consud by
fear
. What a wonderful belief. But… how long do you think they’ll be your teammates?”
Rottmiller stopped involuntarily at the voice that followed.
“I saw your records. It seed pretty embarrassing. It took you 8 years to get to level 7. On the other hand, didn’t a certain barbarian beco 6th grade in half a year?”
“Such a feeling…
I’ve never felt it. ” Shouldn’t you also slowly accept the reality?”
“…….”
“Your comrades will continue to rise. I’m not an ordinary human being like you.”
Rottmiller pressed his lips at the words so direct.
But he couldn’t refute anything.
Not because he was afraid of that man’s power, but because he knew very well that what he said was true.
“I see . How long do you think you will go with them? three months? four months? Well, maybe longer, if they’ll take pity on you.”
Rottmiller didn’t listen any further and opened the door. “I trust
you ‘ll make a wise choice.”
